Working Among Vengeance

Chapter 4: Hospital

           I awoke in a beautiful white-plastered hospital. I couldn't remember how I got here. I recalled something like a strong man carrying me. Was he the person that was fighting everyone else? Maybe there is hope in this world and he decided to save me! I stopped daydreaming and snapped back to reality. 

         The hospitals in Gotham were extremely expensive. How am I going to pay for this? Sure I have my new job as his personal assistant but I don't know if that covers my bills. Maybe if I get another job and only get three hours of sleep a night.

         "So you awoke?" A calm sweet sounding spoke to me.

         I shifted my head around to see an old woman dressed as a doctor. She spoke so kindly to me explaining what happened. Apparently I had been passed out from the drugs I had forcefully taken. She told me that it has been about two days since I passed out. 

         Along with the drugs that made me pass out it was a mixture of stress and overworking. I did notice that I hadn't gotten much sleep since I've met Mr.Wayne because of the work incident.

     "What about the hospital expenses? I don't have enough money for that right now."

     "Don't worry sweetheart a person came in last night and paid for all of it. He would like to remain completely anonymous so unfortunately I can't tell you who he is."

    She hadn't noticed that she revealed that it was a guy. Assuming that it was a rich person that paid for the bills and I probably knew them, that only left Bruce Wayne. How would he have known about my accident though? Maybe he was the person that carried me out.

     "May I leave? I feel a lot better." I said trying to sound upbeat.

     "Sure thing hon, I just need you to fill out these papers for me and you may leave."

       After I left I checked my phone for any emails from Mr.Wayne. Nothing was there except a reminder to come to work. I guess Monday would be tomorrow for me since I had been passed out for two days. He didn't mention me being in the hospital but I guess that's because we are supposed to keep the emails professional or maybe it wasn't him, who paid.

       I went into my apartment. Immediately, after entering I grabbed my towel and went into the restroom to soak in the bath. I have to find a way to relax and not stress so much. My scented candles surrounded me on my bathroom counter. They were really expensive so I limited my use of the candles. I could smell the fresh scent of citrus filling the air.

       Later, I got dressed in my pajamas and laid down. My alarm was set for 4:30am. I looked up and stared at my ceiling. Was I really going to be working with the most handsome billionaire? It was almost like I couldn't believe it. I dozed off and fell into my deep slumber.

      BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! I smacked the annoying sound coming up from beside me. It was my aggravating alarm. I wipe off the crust surrounding my eyes. The sun wasn't even fully up yet. I stretched my body and yawned. My closet door was open and there my outfit was laying.

      It was a black pair of dress pants along with a fancy white dress shirt. These clothes were so expensive, which kinda sucked since I was already low on money. I buttoned up my shirt and put on my pants along with putting on a pair of black brahma shoes. I had put on an elegant dark colored dress coat. Smiling in the mirror, I noticed how beautiful I looked.

    The address of Mr.Wayne's head company was walking distance but now I had the fear of getting kidnapped. I also didn't want to get sweaty so I ended up taking a cab. It was my favorite cab driver Lorenzo. He was always in my neighborhood and since he was usually the person taking me places we ended up becoming friends.

     "You seem like you're coming to work earlier than usual."

     "Oh! I forgot to tell you I'm working at a new place since I got a different job. The address of the place is xxxxx Gotham drive."

     "Isn't that the head of the company?! What are you doing working there?"

      "It's a really nice upgrade I get to be a-," I paused should I tell Lorenzo about me meeting Mr.Wayne, "It's nothing really I'm just going to be a personal assistant."

      "Do you know who your new boss is going to be I remember you telling me you didn't like Mr.Basol."

      "No I don't know yet." 

       I hated lying to Lorenzo but I didn't want him to think of me differently because I got close to a billionaire. People at my old work started either being nice to me or began spreading rumors. I trusted Lorenzo but I have to keep some stuff to myself. 

        I looked out the window and saw that peeking through the pollution from the city was the corporation. We pulled up and I gave him my goodbyes.

         "Bye. y/n remember to have a fun day at work."

          "Thanks Lorenzo!" 

          I gave him a 20 dollar bill and waved bye to him as I walked up to the front of the building. I took a deep breath I was about to enter into th main building. I checked my phone before entering I had arrived 35 minutes early, which was good since he told me to arrive around 1 hour to 30 minutes early.

       With my back straightened and an attempt to calm my nerves I walked into the beautiful gray building.
